Tyrannosaurus rex, sometimes just called T-rex, is believed to be the
largest and most fearsome predator on Earth’s land ever to have
existed. This dinosaur once roam the Earth in the Creataceous period
approximately 68 to 65 million years ago.
As a carnivorous dinosaur, this giant predator most likely ambushed
their prey, and devoured them with jaws full of white sharp teeth. With
it’s fast ability to run at an astonishing speed of 32 mph (50 kmh), a
perfect slim and stiff tail that gave it an excellent balance and
allowed it to make quick turns, equipped this gigantic predator and made
it even more deadly, like a killing machine.

2.) Teks Report adalah teks yang isinya mendeskripsikan sesuatu (binatang/barang/tempat2 umum, dll) secara umumTeks Report memiliki Generic Structure:
1. General Classification
2. Description.
Tenses yang digunakan adalah ‘Present Tense’.Contoh Teks Report
1) A library is a place which collects records of what people have thought and done.(Ini adalah General Classification).
It preserves those records, and it ,makes them available to us, so that
we can learn about many things. In the world of library, we can
entertain ourselves, teach ourselves, and be inspired by the ideas that
we might never have dreamed of otherwise.(Ini adalah ‘Description’)
A library has many sections. Commonly, a library has a reading room, a
catalogue section, a newspaper and magazine section, books section, and a
librarian desk which deals with book circulation. The books are
classified based on the subjects, such as fiction, science, psychology,
etc. They are arranged on the bookshelves.(Ini adalah ‘Description’).
2) Whales are sea-living mammals. They therefore breathe air but cannot
survive on land. Some species are very large indeed and blue whale,
which can exceed 30 cm in length, is the largest animal to have lived on
earth Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are
important differences in its external structure: its tail consists of a
pair of broad, flat, horizontal paddles (the tail of a fish is vertical)
and it has a single nostril on top of its large, broad head. The skin
is smooth and shiny and beneath it lies a layer of fat (blubber). This
is up to 30 cm in thickness and serves to conserve heat and body fluids

3.)Kalian pasti pernah
mendeskripsikan sesuatu, bisa berupa hewan, tumbuhan, benda, dan hal
lain secara umum. Contoh nyata jika ada turis asing yang meminta kalian
menjelaskan tentang karakteristik orang Indonesia, kalian pasti akan
mendeskripsikan orang Indonesia secara umum bukan mendeskripsikan diri
kamu sendiri tentunya. Atau dalam pelajaran Biologi, kalian biasanya
mempelajari karakteristik hewan secara umum, baik itu kelasnya
(classification) hingga mempelajari sifat-sifat hewan tersebut secara
detail (description).
Dalam bahasa Indonesia kita mengenal teks deskripsi. Namun dalam
pelajaran bahasa Inggris teks deskripsi dibedakan menjadi dua bagian,
yaitu descriptive dan report.
Yang harus diingat adalah Report adalah jenis teks yang
mendeskripsikan sesuatu secara umum. Beda dengan Descriptive yang
mendeskripsikan sesuatu secara spesifik atau tertentu (alias cuma satu).
Contoh: Ada dua teks tentang komputer yaitu “Computer” dan “My Own
Computer”, kalau dilihat dari judulnya kedua teks tersebut beda jenis
teksnya: Computer (Umum; jenis teksnya Report); My own computer (Khusus,
kan cuma komputer saya, makanya jenis teksnya Descriptive).For example:
For many years, many people believed that the cleverest animals after
man were the chimpanzees. Now, however, there is proof that dolphins
may be even cleverer than these big apes.
Although a dolphin lives in the sea it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways, therefore, like a human being.
Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one
another. It may be possible for man to learn how to talk to dolphins.
But this will not be easy because dolphins cannot hear the kind of
sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he
will have to make a third language which both he and the dolphins can
understand.
Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They often follow ships.
There are many stories about dolphins guiding ships through difficult
and dangerous water.
Text di atas menjelaskan tentang dolphin secara umum. Di paragraf
kedua tercantum jelas bahwa dolphin belongs to mammal. Ini menjelaskan
bahwa dophin termasuk ke dalam kelas mamalia. Di paragraf ketiga dan
selanjutnya menjelaskan tentang kebiasaan dari dolphin secara umum.Contoh lain:
A razor is a tool which is found in nearly every bathroom. A man who
has thick hair on his face may have to shave twice a day. It is a habit
which can be dangerous. For many years, a razor was a handle with a long
piece of steel which was sharp and flat at one end. These razors had a
long open blade.
But today’s razors are safer and more convenient to use. The thing which makes today’s razor safe is that the blade is small thin sharp piece of steel.
The person who invented razor blades was a man called King Gillette. He
was a clever man who had many ideas for new inventions. He wanted to
make a blade that was safe and which could be used several times. In
1891, he invented a new type of razor blade. It was short and it was
held in a special handle. The sharp edge of the blade did not stick out very far. It was a razor which was safe to use. It was more difficult to cut yourself than with the older type of razor.
Gillette’s razor blade became popular. It was an invention which
worked well and which everybody need because each blade only lasted 8 to
10 times. Gillette sold many of his new safety blades and soon became a
millionaire.
Teks di atas menceritakan tentang benda mati yaitu razor. Di paragraf
awal menggambarkan tentang suatu alat berupa razor secara umum. Di
paragraf berikutnya menjelaskan tentang bagian dan bentuk dari razor.

4.) Report (Laporan hasil pengamatan)Ciri Umum:
(a) Tujuan Komunikatif Teks:
Menyampaikan informasi tentang sesuatu, apa adanya, sebagai hasil
pengamatan sistematis atau analisis. Yang dideskripsikan dapat meliputi
gajala alam, lingkungan, benda buatan manusia, atau gejala-gejala
sosial. Deskripsi sebuah teks report dapat berupa simpulan
umum, misalnya, ikan paus termasuk binatang mamalia karena ikan tersebut
melahirkan anaknya. Untuk membuat laporan semacam ini, siswa perlu
mengamati dan membandingkan ikan paus dengan binatang lainnya yang
memiliki ciri-ciri yang sama.
Siswa dapat mencoba membuat teks laporan tentang, misalnya, rumah
sangat sederhana, warung tegal, sekolah, rumah sakit dsb. dengan
mendekripsikan ciri-ciri subyek tersebut sehingga disebut rumah
sederhana, dsb.
(b) Struktur Teks:
Pernyataan umum yang menerangkan subjek laporan, keterangan, dan klasifikasinya.(General Clasification)

Deskripsi lanjutan dari General Classification (Description:tells
what the phenomenon under discussion ; in terms of parts, qualities,
habits or behaviors).

Contoh:

HEART

The heart is the most important part of the body. It is the center of
life. However, the heart is only as big as a closed hand. ( General Classification)
The heart is a muscle and it beats about seventy times per minute throughthout a person’s life. (Description)
The heart pumps blood from your heart to all parts of your body. The
heart is made up of four chambers or small “rooms”. The top chamber are
called the right and left auriclesand the botttom chambers are the right
and left ventricles. (Description)
When blood enters the heart. It is in dark reddish color because it
countains carbon dioxide. The blood enters the right auricle and then
the right ventricle. When the heart contracts, it forces the blood to
the lungs where the blood receives oxygen. It then goes to the left
auricle. The heart contracts again, and the blood goes to the left
ventricle and is then forced out into the body. The blood gathers carbon
dioxide and returns to the heart, and the process begins again. (Description)

PLANT

Plants are living beings. They need food, water and air for survival. (General Classification)
Plants derive their food from the earth and the air. If you look at
their roots, you will find that ends of these roots are like fine
fibers. We call them root-hairs. They absorb water and minerals, then
transport them upwards to the leaves through the trunk and the branches.
It is the leaves which prepare the food. (Description)
The green material, chlorophyll, prepares the food like a machine. It
converts the carbon dioxide taken from the air and water from the
ground into sugar with the help of sunlight. This chemical reaction is
called photosynthes. In fact, the chlorophyll takes energy from the
sunlight and uses it to synthesize the hydrogen from water and carbon
from carbon dioxide for making sugar. This reaction also gives out
oxygen and water which are excreted by the leaves. (Description)

AUSTRALIA

Australia is a large continent. It has six states and two territories.
The capital city of Australia is Canberra. It is in the Australian Capital Territory.
The The population of Australia is about 20 million. The first
inhabitants to live in Australia were Aboriginal people. After that
people came from all over the world. The main language is English,
however many other languages are spoken.

Mangrove Trees

A mangrove is a tropical marine tree. Mangroves have special aerial
roots and salt-filtering tap roots which enable them to thrive in
brackish water. Brackish water is salty but not as salty as sea water.
Mangrove trees are commonly planted and found in coastal areas.
Mangroves can serve as walls of protection for natural disaster in
coastal area like tsunami. According to BBC News,
healthy mangrove forests had helped save lives in the Asia disaster
tsunami and people tended to respect these natural barriers even more,
especially after the tsunami.
There are several species of mangrove tree found all over the world.
Some prefer more salinity, while others like to be very-close to a large
fresh water source such as river. Some prefer areas that are sheltered
from waves. Some species have their roots covered with sea water every
day during high tide. Other species grow on dry land but are still part
of the ecosystem.The Times of India
reported that rare species of mangrove had been found and was also
known as the looking-glass tree, probably because the leaves are
silver-coated.
Mangroves need to keep their trunk and leave above the surface of the
water. Yet they also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they
are not moved by waves.
Any part of root that appears above the water flows oxygen to the plant
under water surface. as the soil begin to build up, these roots
procedure additional roots that become embedded in the soil.

Kinds of EarthquakeEarthquake often happens around us. It brings great damages. Earthquake is hard to be predicted and that makes lot victims.

Actually there are three kinds of earthquake. This kinds of
earthquake are commonly base on the factor and geological area where the
earthquakes happen. These three kinds of earthquake are tectonic,
volcanic and explosion.
Tectonic earthquakes is most common one. This kind of earthquake
happens while earth’s crust rocks break because of the geological
strength created by moving of the earth’s plates.Volcanic
earthquakes happen exactly with volcanic activity. Volcanic earthquakes
are when the volcano produces acidic lava, which drys quickly, when it
drys quickly it blocks the top of the volcano. This make no more magma
can escape. Pressure starts to build up and eventually the acidic lava
can no longer stand the pressure. So the volcano is free to explode, the
pressure is released so fast that an earthquake is caused. A volcanic
earthquake is usually kept within 10-20 miles of the volcano.
Explosion earthquakes are the result of the collapse earthquakes that
are small earthquakes occurring in underground mines and caverns.

Types of Volcanic Eruptions
Volcanic eruptions have caused some of the worst disasters in the world.
They can wipe out entire cities and kill thousands of people.
The name of volcano comes from Roman term. It derives from VULCAN which
is the name of Roman fire god. Romans believed that Vulcan lived on a
volcanic Italian coast. Romans called the island VULCANO.

According to scientists, volcanic eruptions are divided in to four
basic groups. They are commonly known as Hawaiian, Strombolian,
Vulcanian and Peleean. The term of Hawaiian eruptions are named after
the volcanoes in Hawaii. These volcanic eruptions are the least violent
type. They produce highly fluid lava which flows quietly. This gradually
builds up a shield volcano.
Strombolian eruptions are named after Stromboli. These result from
the constant release of gas from the magma. As the gas escapes, it
produces tephra that piles up, turning into a cinder cone. Strombolian
eruptions happen when sticky magma plugs the central vent. This makes
the magmatic gas build up pressure until it blasts. The magma is turned
into volcanic dust and bombs.
Vulcanian eruption which comes from the ancient Roman belief, are
more violent than the strombolian eruption. Vulcanian eruption happens
and brings magma which is more viscous. Vulcanian explosions are usually
larger and noisier than the Strombolian eruptions.
Paleean eruptions are famous as the most violent kind of volcanic
eruptions. The name of paleean comes from the eruption of Mount Pelee,
Martinique in 1902. It killed almost 38 thousands people. A Peleean
eruption occurs when the magmatic gas build up tremendous pressure. This
causes violent explosions with glowing clouds of hot ash and dust.

What is a tornado?
Tornadoes are known as one of the most damaging disasters. What is the
description of tornadoes? A tornado is a very powerful column of winds
which spirals around a center of low atmospheric pressure. A tornado
will look like a large black funnel which hangs down from a storm cloud.

The name “tornado” derives from the Latin “tonare”. It means “to
thunder.” While the Spanish developed the word into “tornear” which
means “to turn or twist”. This is why a tornado is sometimes called
twister or cyclone.
The winds inside a twister can spin around at speeds up to 500 miles
an hour, but it usually travels at roughly 300 miles an hour. This speed
twisting makes a tornado the most dangerous storm.
The average tornado has a diameter of about 200 to 300 yards. The
smaller tornadoes are known as satellite tornadoes. These small
offspring, about 50 yards across, can be very fierce and do lots of
damage.
The forming of a tornado can be very quick. Sometimes it can form in a
minute or less. A tornado can travel across the ground at high speeds,
then it can suddenly vanish. Most tornadoes last less than twenty
minutes and travel less than 15 miles. However, the super storms
sometimes travel over 100 miles before they are exhausted.

Many people call platypus duckbill because
this animal has a bill like duckbill. Platypus is a native Tasmania and
southern and eastern Australia.
Platypus has a flat tail and webbed feet. Its body length is 30 to 45 cm
and covered with a thick, and woolly layer of fur. Its bill is
detecting prey and stirring up mud. Platypus’ eyes and head are small.
It has no ears but has ability to sense sound and light.
Platypus lives in streams, rivers, and lakes. Female platypus usually
dig burrows in the streams or river banks. The burrows are blocked with
soil to protect it from intruders and flooding. In the other hand, male
platypus does not need any burrow to stay.

Human body is actually a living machine and
is like all other machines. This living machine needs fuel to supply it
with energy. The fuel is provided by the food which we eat. However do
we know how much we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is
the amount of heat which is required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of
water by 1 degree C. The number of calories which people need per day
varies. It depends on the activity which the people are involved in. For
example; people will need more calories for standing than for sitting,
people need more for running than for walking, etc.
The energy which is provided by food is in the form of three kinds of
chemical substances. They are carbohydrate, protein and fat.
Carbohydrate provides 8.8 calories per gram (cal/gm) of energy, protein
4.0 cal/gm and fat 8.0 cal/gm. Each food contains different proportion
of these substances.These three chemical substances are all important
for body staying healthy.

Birds are interesting flying animals. They are vertebrates and warm
blooded animals. They belong to aves class and they can be found all
over the world.
Birds breath with their air pocket. Beside as respiration organ, air
pocket also can enlarge or reduce their weight when flying or swimming.
There are many kinds of birds. Earth bird has special characteristic.
They have different morphology acording to their food and their
habitat. Some of them eat seeds, pollen, fish or meat. There are some
species that live in land and the others live in water. Land birds live
on their nest.
Female birds have specific tasks. they lay eggs and feed their baby, Beside that they look for foods for their baby.

Dances are parts of celebrations, and mark
important times of life such as births, weddings and funerals. They are
parts of festivities at times of planting and harvesting of rice, and
other important events.
There are many different types and styles of dances. They are Court,
Martial, Mask dances. The dances of the different island vary. Men and
women seldom perform together, except in courtship dances. generally
dancers will be either men or women. Indonesian dances are slow, with
very controlled movements. The dancers’s arm and hand movement are very
important.
The court dances are very formal in style. Dancers keep their faces
without any expressions, and perform precise gestures. Some dances
reflect the pomp and formality of the court. Some dances tell stories
from the Ramayana, the Hindu holy book.
Martial dances are generally performed only by men. They were originally
war dances and in come the men demonstrade their skill in using the
weapons of battle, such as spears.
Some dances involve the use of elaborate masks. It is believed thet when
a dancer wears a mask, he takes on the character of the mask as though
the spirit of the mask takes over. Each island has different mask
dances, and different styles of masks.
